Bike Share Program

The Sleepy Eye Bike Share Program is a seasonal bike sharing system available for use from spring to fall. Six bikes, featuring solar-powered Bluetooth locks, plush comfort seats, Shimano® 7-speed internal gearing and puncture-resistant tires, are located at a docking station at Sportsman’s Park, providing easy access to the trail for community members, park visitors and campers from sunrise to sunset.

The program began June of 2017 after a group of health-conscious SEMC employees suggested the idea to SEMC administration as well as the Sleepy Eye Healthcare Foundation. Ultimately, the goal of the program is to promote healthy activity and recreation in the community.
